~~If someone wondering how big is the Megami Tensei universe (the series as a whole), this picture below probably the closest I can get. There are other pictures too but I guess this one is the one that have connection between the games.~~
EDIT: I remove the image link just to avoid the headache of the lore and consistencies.
Imo what I like from this series (especially on the main line series) compared to the other JRPG games is that the mythology portrayal, the mature themes and the battle of "Law vs Chaos" is that great and doesn't shy away from source material. I couldn't explained it myself but it is just something different than your average JRPG.
Read at your own risk
Literally in one of the mainline game, you have to battle YHVHOh and Megami Tensei almost always has banger OST if you all never played them.
I thought this game was about going to school and dating.
The social element is introduced in Persona 3 however the school setting can be traced back to SMT: if... that also introduces the spin off series Persona (Persona 3 before the re-release P3FES was marketed with Shin Megami Tensei moniker).
